If you’re asking yourself, “What can I put in my Wardrobe to stop damp?” then it’s probably too late to take any preventative measures. And, in answer, viable solutions will depend on how severe the problem is.
In cases where a mould infestation has started eating into the structure of your cabinetry, saving it may not be possible. In such scenarios, investing in a complete wardrobe refurbishment might be the best solution.
However, if you’ve caught it in the early stages, then there are things you can do to mitigate the effects.
Join our experts as we take a look at what causes dampness, its side effects and how you can stop it. We’ll also give you some organisational tips that will minimise the chances of it happening in the first place.
Recognising the sources of dampness will help you to take appropriate action before the problem even manifests. So, if you’re about to build a fitted wardrobe or have just done so, these are the things to look out for:
At FCI London, we build free-standing units that are customised according to your space and are then installed to fit. This means that, if your walls develop a damp issue at any point, your cabinetry will not be affected by it.
If you’re still concerned about the issue, we also offer the option of including UV lights, preventing bacteria from developing even in damp conditions.
While you may not think it’s serious at the time, an accumulation of dampness in your wardrobes can have some pretty drastic side effects. Let’s discuss them:
For these reasons, regular care, including the management of any moisture, is imperative to protecting your possessions, wardrobe structure and general well-being.
Whether you’ve installed a generous corner unit like Logo’s Design #30 or opted for something simple like the Pleione walk-in by Barel, dampness is a no-no. Here are some things that will help to keep them dry:
If you’ve detected a damp issue, we suggest you take the following measures to ensure that it doesn’t occur again:
Remember, dampness in wardrobes is a common problem in British households, so if you find it, the first step is not to panic. At the same time, it’s important to take quick action so that it doesn’t spread or cause any harm to you or your belongings.
